The discussion about physical attractiveness reminds me of research by Dr. K. Bogart, a psychologist who researches facial differences. Check out her article here:
Funnily enough, Maslow seemed to be plagued by the attractive-people-are-amazing bias too.
In some of his personal reflections on he students he identified as self-actualizers he wrote: “how come I pick so many more girls than boys?”, and, “how come they’re all very pretty?” 😂

Which fits with even more research on how physical attractiveness often influences who gets a job after an interview: https://www.stevestewartwilliams.com/p/who-gets-the-callback
I wonder how Bogart’s research fits in. For instance what if you disclose a facial difference during the interview?
Great post.
